3 Month Post-Op
Feb 09, 2007
So on Tuesday February 6th it was my 3 month post-op appointment and I went to visit my nurse and I was down 154 pounds from my start weight of 443. A big accomplishment in 3 months time. My fear was that I might be losing too fast, and the nurse did caution that some patients suffer from malnutrition because their bodies go into such great shock during the weight loss period. I am really excited and happy about the progress that I have made and hope to continue on the losing path. My goal weight is 220, and at first I thought that would be a longshot and a 1-2 year process to attain, but I am now thinking this might happen a lot sooner than I expected, which is a good thing, but I also understand its going to mean that my maintenance period would kickoff a lot sooner than expected and from what I understand this is a very tough phase as well. Anyways, I am enjoying the change and the comments being received.
